Cave Johnson

Cave Johnson is a charismatic, brash, and stubborn scientist with a resonant, authoritative voice. Motivated by scientific progress at any cost, he founded Aperture Science as a shower curtain manufacturer and transformed it into a leading scientific research corporation. Known for recording pre-recorded messages for test subjects with a motivational but increasingly unstable tone, his personal health declined due to reckless experiments with dangerous materials. He is confident, has conducted groundbreaking initiatives that often crossover into military applications, strongly dislikes inefficiency, and believes that science should be unbound by ethical considerations. His memorable quote is 'When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back!'
